Ingredients

Scale
- 2 large organic navel oranges (preferably Cara Cara)
- 1 small organic grapefruit (preferably white)
- 1/2 vanilla bean, split
- 1/2 cup (100 g) sugar
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) vodka
- 1/2 cup (60 ml) Grand Marnier
- 1 bottle (750 ml, or 3 1/4 cups) dry rosé wine
- 1 sprig organic Rosemary
Instructions
- Rinse and dry the oranges and grapefruit. Trim and discard the stem ends. Cut each orange into ¼ -inch-thick (6 mm) rounds. Cut the grapefruit in half and then cut each half into ¼ -inch-thick (6 mm) half-circles.
- Combine the oranges, grapefruit, vanilla, and sugar in a sterilized quart (1 L) jar. Pour the vodka, Grand Marnier, and wine into the jar and push the fruit down with a wooden spoon to submerge it as much as possible (it will insist on floating up).
- Add the Rosemary sprig and cover the jar tightly.
- Store the jar in a cool, dark place for 1 month, shaking it daily to moisten the floating pieces of fruit with the alcohol mixture.
- Strain through a fine-mesh strainer. Discard the solids. Bottle and store in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
- Age for at least 1 month before drinking: the Vin d’Orange will continue to improve with age.
- Serve chilled.
